I was interested to see that Abraham Lincoln had Confederate money on him the night he was shot. I wonder why, and where he got it, and when. What do you think that money tells about him?
I think that the things we carry tell a lot about ourselves and who we are. Pull a few things out of your pockets. Why are you carrying them, and not other things? What do they say about you? Write it down and share with others. This is a good way to learn more about yourself and other people too.
I carry tissues (bad allergies) all the time. They come in handy when my three year old has a runny nose as well. I also carry a small pocketknife, which comes in handy ALL the time. For some reason, I carry chapstick as well. I can’t remember the last time I used it, but I have it. Go figure.
You’re a good dad, Scott.
